A brief review of the background for experiments at future electron-positron linear colliders is done. Two sources of background are discussed: the beam delivery system and the interaction point. The abundance of background muons, neutrons, photons and electron-positron pairs is quoted for different sub-detectors and both background sources. The background caused by the beamstrahlung is described in more detail. Space distributions are sketched and the impact on calorimeters is discussed for the background neutrons.
